Front Cover Making of a Place

‘Making of a Place’ is a book by Abin Design Studio, led by Abin Chaudhuri. It is a part of CEPT University Folio Series and it narrates a serendipitous sequence of events that comprises place making in small-town India; an ongoing story of how a tiny spark introduced an entire community to the power of design; demonstrating how architecture can expand its sphere of influence further than defining the visual and material culture of its immediate context. The foreword and project introductions in the book are by Kaiwan Mehta.

The book also showcases how design and technology are adapted to suit local constraints, and most importantly, celebrates the cohesive efforts of local influencers and the huge gamut of people involved in the successful realization of peri-urban projects. It presents Private, Public and Community driven projects of multiple scales through the dual lens of intent and process.
